Union Bears unveil huge 'Penny Arcade' Rangers tifo at Ibrox

The Union Bears unveiled a huge Penny Arcade Rangers tifo ahead of the Scottish Premiership match against Dundee.

A massive display covered the Copland Stand featuring the words: "Step up and play".

The tifo depicted a supporter, with the words 'No Surrender' across his back, playing on a slot machine with RFC on it.

The machines showed a mixture of stars and Scottish domestic football trophies on their screens.

Penny Arcade, which features the words 'Step up and play', has become a song synonymous with Rangers, with a charity single performed by Sammy King released in 2011.

The tune is regularly played before matches at Ibrox.

The huge display comes after the Union Bears group had to "reluctantly pull" a tifo planned for the Champions League tie against Viktoria Plzen.

The supporter group scrapped the plans due to weather conditions caused by Storm Floris during the week.

A group statement read: "Due to the wind/adverse weather we are reluctantly pulling tonight's planned tifo.

"After weeks of work this decision is the last thing we wanted but we've been left with no choice.

"In the absence of a tifo we urge all fans heading to Ibrox tonight bring a scarf and, more importantly bring the noise and back the team right from the start."
